There’s nothing like a rivalry, and this past weekend’s Bowdoin v. Colby men’s hockey game–at the sold-out Watson arena on a snowy February night–didn’t disappoint.

Bowdoin v. Colby–there’s nothing like a rivalry!
Please welcome second shooter Angie Devenney

New portfolios are ready to go
Another fun part of the rebranding effort has been producing a real time portfolio to go with the one that is online (the web site.)

She came up with a handful of possible new logos and I shared...

Brunswick bids good-bye to highly successful coach
That sound you heard coming out of Brunswick earlier this week was a collective groan over the news that record-setting Bowdoin womens’ basketball coach Stefanie Pemper is leaving Maine.
The talented coach has been selected as womens’ basketball coach at the U.S. Naval Academy. In her ten years on the Brunswick campus Stefanie has guided the...
Fiddle Dee!
I was fortunate to be asked to shoot a story on the Maine Fiddle Camp for Down East magazine. The story, shot last summer, appears in the April issue of the magazine, which is on the newsstands at this time.
I was told before shooting the story to focus on the camp food, and having spent many a...
